I guess I should have said that this is a new noise. It's never made this type of noise before. It normaly starts up with out a problem, but now just before the engine roars to life, there is the "playing card in the spoke" noise that I was talking about. I should also give you a few more spec's on the car. It's a '98 Mystique 2.0L DOHC 4 Cyl, GS model. Any other ideas?
